Children’s beauty pageants
Michael Healy-Rae asks whether the family relationships and children legislation will ban beauty pageants for young children; the Taoiseach says the matter is not Government policy and gives no publication date for the Bill.
I refer to the family relationships and children Bill. Is there any proposal by the Government in that Bill to ban beauty pageants for young children? This is of concern to many people in the country. Children could not attend these beauty pageants unless their parents brought them. Is it the Government's intention to allow these pageants to continue?
